Antigay Pastor Wasn't Masturbating, Just Had Pants Open

The antigay pastor who was arrested Monday for allegedly masturbating in a park in front of children held a press conference today to apologize for his actions -- and say he wasn't masturbating, he just had his hand down his unzipped pants.

"That Friday I was reclined in the chair in the van, and I had opened my pants and I had my hand in my underwear," Grant Storms said. "I'm not a pedophile. I'm not a child molester, and I don't go exposing myself to children."

Storms also apologized for his purity marches and campaigns against gay people, saying he hopes "they can find it in their heart to forgive me."
